Only recipe' I can think of this gourd apart from masial and sambar is poricha koottu. It is a delicious item and goes well with rice+pappad.
Ingredients:
1 no Ribbed gourd
1/2 cup Moong dal
3 tsp urad dal
1/2 tsp Asafoetida
1.5 tsp Salt
2 tsp Oil
3 nos Red chilli
1/4 cup Grated coconut
few Curry leaves
1/4 tsp Turmeric powder
1 tsp Cumin seeds
1/2 tsp Pepper
1/2 tsp Mustard seeds
Peel the ribbed gourd and cut into 1/4 " bits. Save the skin for chutney(described in the next post). Pressure cook the cut gourd with moong dal and turmeric powder.
In a fry pan saute urad dal, pepper, cumin seeds, red chillies, asafoetida and grind all these to a gravy consistency.
Now in a cooking vessel crackle mustard seeds with urad dal, red chilli asafoetida in 2 tsp oil. Now pour the cooked gourd-dal mix and add the gravy as per the previous step. Let the contents boil for 5 minutes, garnish with curry leaves. Serve it hot with pappad
